Default F3 to F2 front

what all do i need to convert the front end of an F3 to an F2. i really have no choice. The guy i got the bike from swaped in an F2 motor so i have no speedo. I figure it is cheeper to convert to an F2 then replace the motor. Thanks in advance

I think you need basically everything attached to the forks with exception of the triple trees, stem, clip-ons and master cylinder. Not sure about the brake calipers though.

Correct, and you'd also need the f2 rotors. Also, I believe the 1994 f2's switched to a digital speedometer so you'd need a pre 1994 wheel and forks. The brake lines i'd imagine wouldn't need to be swapped.

as long as you set it up right its more accurate than the stock speedometer, and if you decide to change the gear ratio -1+2 popular conversion it still reads true, the only problem i have is the gear position does not read right all the time, but its nota big deal to me i just wanted it for the MPH and radar detector, if all you want isMPH you can get the mc1 instead of the mc2 the only difference is about 100 dollars and the mc2 supports radar detectors, both have the same issue with showing the correct gear your in, i think I'm going to contact the company to see if i can disable the geardisplay part, also it works well in most daylight conditions except for when the sun is directly in front of you then it whites out the display, also if you run 2 different visors tented and clear day / night use then you need to order a second mount for the display unit, other than that i love mine i can keep my eyes on the road better i know for a fact its saved my @zz twice cause if i would have glanced down at my speedo i would have been road kill, i hate people that dont look before they pull into traffic guess their radio station or cell phone call is more important than my life.

anyways you can find them on ebay from 150.00 to 300.00 just depends on which model you chose, hope it help best of luck

the reason you get a left and right mount is because you need to do the eye test to see which side you mount it to http://www.sportvue.com/support/dominance.php
